"I am glad I paid $400 to make perfect etched circles on my more expensive furniture."

Last week, Apple released its long-awaited smart speaker, the HomePod. Following in the footsteps of Amazon's Echo and Google Home, the device lets you give orders to Siri, play high-quality sound through Apple Music, and control a smart home. However, it also does one other thing Apple probably didn't intend. Some users are saying it's been leaving white circular stains on their wooden furniture.

Photos posted to Twitter show white rings that users say the HomePod left on wooden surfaces, The Daily Mail reports. "#Homepod left rings on my wood furniture in less than 20 minutes of us," one user wrote. "Thanks #apple I am glad I paid $400 to make perfect etched circles on my more expensive furniture. Guess I cannot move it now to cover up the mark. Evil geniuses you are."

"#HomePod is leaving white stain on wooden surfaces," said another, before adding a sarcastic suggestion: "@Apple should start selling 'HomePad' now, to be used as the base. $99 only!"

A review on Wirecutter first documented the issue, according to The Telegraph. "The HomePod can damage wood furniture: An unhappy discovery after we placed a HomePod on an oiled butcher-block countertop and later on a wooden side table was that it left a defined white ring in the surface," it reads. "This really undermines the design aspect of the HomePod — especially if you were thinking of displaying it on some prized piece of furniture — and it will surely be a sore point for many potential buyers." On the bright side, they didn't find it caused any damage on other materials, like glass and granite.

Since people started complaining, Apple has updated its HomePod support page to address the issue of staining. "It is not unusual for any speaker with a vibration-damping silicone base to leave mild marks when placed on some wooden surfaces," it reads. "The marks can be caused by oils diffusing between the silicone base and the table surface, and will often go away after several days when the speaker is removed from the wooden surface. If not, wiping the surface gently with a soft damp or dry cloth may remove the marks. If marks persist, clean the surface with the furniture manufacturer's recommended cleaning process. If you’re concerned about this, we recommend placing your HomePod on a different surface."
